Hosea 9:10-12
Young's Literal Translation
10 As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They -- they have gone in [to] Baal-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like their love.
11 Ephraim [is] as a fowl, Fly away doth their honour, without birth, And without womb, and without conception.
12 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless -- without man, Surely also, wo to them, when I turn aside from them.

Hosea 9:10-12
New International Version
10 “When I found Israel,
it was like finding grapes in the desert;
when I saw your ancestors,
it was like seeing the early fruit(A) on the fig(B) tree.
But when they came to Baal Peor,(C)
they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol(D)
and became as vile as the thing they loved.
11 Ephraim’s glory(E) will fly away like a bird(F)—
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.(G)
12 Even if they rear children,
I will bereave(H) them of every one.
Woe(I) to them
when I turn away from them!(J)
